FROM the ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “Methinks the Wind Hath Spoke Aloud at Land,” Montano Says in the Beginning of Act 2 of Othello FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “Methinks the wind hath spoke aloud at land,” Montano says in the beginning of Act 2 of Othello. Perseverance Theatre’s production has just arrived through wind and rain, via air and sea from Juneau to bring you the drama and intrigue of Othello, Iago, “ Putting Othello and Desdemona here at the Sydney Laurence Theatre. Welcome! This production, like all of our offerings this season, is packed with Alaskan actors, on stage designers, and artists. As we step further into our fifth subscription season in Anchorage, we are realizing that the benefits of becoming a statewide organization work in two directions: more Alaskans get to see professional theatre, and allowed us to Perseverance has the opportunity to work with more Alaskan artists than ever. connect with Each time we develop a connection with an Alaskan artist, our network and connections are strengthened. When actor and director Tom Robenolt became part of our staff as the marketing and box office manager, his passion and expertise with Shakespeare Shakespeare made bringing Othello to the stage an easy choice. Putting Othello on stage allowed us to connect with Shakespeare-loving actors from around the state like loving actors Levi Ben-Israel and Frank Delaney who you’ll see performing tonight. Perseverance theatre’s mission--to create professional theatre by and for Alaskans- from around the -means we are not only driven to stage great professional theatre; we are also committed to improving the professional opportunities for Alaskan actors and theatre state artists. ” Perseverance is producing six plays on the mainstage, including Othello, and five of them will play in both Juneau and Anchorage. The theatre is continuing its process of investing more in Alaskan actors and artists: we now have two actors-in-residence and a full-time production stage manager on our staff. One of the other changes we are happy to announce is a shift in our arrangement with Actors Equity Association. This year, Perseverance begins a trial transition to the “Small Professional Theatre” agreement with Actors Equity, which allows Perseverance to issue union contracts more easily and give Alaskan actors a way into union membership via their work with Perseverance Theatre. A great way support Perseverance’s mission is to become a subscriber. It’s not too late! There are still four shows left in our subscription season including A Christmas Carol; our world premiere by Anchorage Playwright Vera Starbard, Our Voices Will Be Heard; In the Next Room, or the vibrator play; and Sweeney Todd. Subscribers get the best deal on tickets as well as free exchanges and invitations to special events. Subscription forms are available in the lobby or at ptalaska.org.

    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.
